Stoudamire carries Wildcats to win over Cardinal

Associated Press

Salim Stoudamire took Stanford’s recent success in Tucson, Ariz., personally.

The senior guard, who was 2-5 against Stanford before Saturday, had 20 of his 26 points in the second half of No. 14 Arizona’s 90-72 victory over the Cardinal.

“They have beaten me the three previous times (at home),” Stoudamire said. “I told (Chris) Hernandez I had to get him sometime. It feels great. I want to go out and party.”

Channing Frye had 15 points and 13 rebounds, Hassan Adams and Chris Rodgers scored 13 each and Ivan Radenovic had 10 points.

Frye also tied his season high with four blocks, leading a strong defensive effort that lifted the Wildcats (19-4, 9-2 Pac-10) to their 16th win in 18 games and earned coach Lute Olson his 299th conference win – second only to John Wooden’s 304.

Dan Grunfeld had 23 points for the Cardinal.

The Cardinal (12-9, 6-5) had beaten Arizona their last four trips to McKale Center and won their last three against the Wildcats overall.
